Welcome to Space Engine. smile

I showed elevation and azimuth of sun in "Stellarium" program. But no show in Space Engine.
If the show of elevation and azimuth is avaliable then I ask how I do enable show.

Note: sorry for bad english. wink

Hi nuninho. Space Engine does not currently display altitude/azimuth information. You'll have to use planetarium software for those. smile

Seems like quite a good idea to have an option to display them in future versions. It could be pretty handy.




I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

I tried to find Planetarium software but Planetarium (Redshift 7) isn't new nor free.

I don't think he meant a software called Planetarium, I think he meant a general planetarium software. Stellarium (what you already have) is the best free planetarium software out there.

Does Lastest version or beta of Space Engine add to show the elevation and the azimuth in earth?

nuninho, stll, not. Only altitude information is available if you have selected the body you are hanging above. Also, there's the default key to level with horizon ("Home") so you would not get vertigo when flying near surface.

I suppose it is easy for Space Engineer to implement some of the easiest astronomical instruments, but there are at least two reasons why they are not there yet:
1. There was no demand.
2. The orbital system isn't 100% complete and this simulator still not suitable for astronomic measurements. For example, even though it was possible to observe transit of Venus in 2012, the Solar eclipse of the same year was not available.

Actually it's [End]. [Home] toggles FOV.

No, and do not expect it in the near future.
